My mission this week is to declutter the kitchen counter tops (and keep them decluttered) and organize the kitchen cupboards. I've made a start this morning but I'm not quite finished. I think I will have accomplished this mission by tomorrow :-)I didn't sleep much last night, don't know why, but sometimes I have those nights where I just seem to toss and turn. I was awake pretty much from 2-5am, I then started nodding off about 5.20am and remember thinking "oh no, I'm going to feel exhausted when the alarm goes off at 6!" I woke again at 5.58, so I turned off the alarm before it went off and went downstairs - and yes, I felt exhausted! I still went to the gym though, after dropping Kristen off at school, then I did a quick grocery shop stocking up on more fruit and veggies for this week. Tonight we're having spaghetti and meatballs, but I'm going to have the spaghetti squash, cos I really want to make an effort to be good. I've lost about 4lbs since the beginning of December, and my aim will be to lose at least 6lb more, then I will need to just try and maintain that weight and continue with going to the gym and walking.
Speaking of walking, I did take Boo out on Saturday afternoon and did a quick walk around the neighborhood. It was actually only 15 minutes first time around. Boo has the not-so wonderful habit of going potty about 2 minutes after we set off (EVERY SINGLE TIME!) and I end up carrying a blue bag of poop around with me - delightful.... NOT!!! So after one quick circuit I dropped him off at home (and the poop!) and went out again for another 15 minutes. It was really hot on Saturday, sun shining and nearly 80 degrees! I didn't get out yesterday because we went over to Grandma's after church, and I haven't gone today because I've been to the gym and I'm busy trying to get the kitchen cleaned. No gym tomorrow so I will try to get a half hour walk in, if it's not raining.
Not much else going on today, so I'll hop off here and get back to it!

Denise, We are thinking of the same things. I decluttered the counters on Saturday and I am sweeping my way through to the dining area. I want to go back and rearrange the cabinets and the pantry. It is good to get walking in. Here it has been too cold. It snowed lightly again. :-(

Denise, I have been going through our home a room at a time. It's been so good to declutter & find a place for everything. It's amazing how much stuff builds up! I smiled about Boo & his quick potty. Ours does the same thing - I think it's because they are so excited to be out. Hugs!
Hi Denise,
That is great you are getting things organized. I need to organize our kitchen, especially the pantry.
Loved hearing about your walk with Boo! lol
Take care sweetie!
~hugs~
Hi sweets,
I hope you sleep better tonight, I hate those sorts of nights and then you feel behind the 8 ball all day long. My worst time for flagging after a busy day is 5pm. That's not very helpful when I need to start on things for dinner (tea as we call it down here in Oz). I need to find some low GI snack to tide me over.
You're doing great with your decluttering, and once it's done it's so nice. My kitchen is fine, it's my study that gathers everyone's clutter. People use things then don't put them away, so tomorrow I hope to declutter the study and have a fresh start. I love it when it's done.
You have a great day and wow, that's warm for Austin this time of year. Jason's parents are heading back to Austin tomorrow for the next 3 months, so compared to how cold it is in Toledo they should get a nice surprise then.
Big huggles xx
ha ha ha, there must be something in the air. As soon as I hear little one stop chatting to herself, and I know she's dropped off,I'm going downstairs to have a tidy up and clean of the kitchen too :O)
glad you are doing well with the walking . Every little bit helps!
